Chapter 364: A Man Full of Sin (1)

It was a migraine that had struck after breakfast. galaxy Even so, after a short nap, she felt a bit better than before.

Of course, “better” didn’t mean in optimal condition. acoustic At that moment, all she wanted was to stay in bed, regaining her strength. academy But—

Victoria let out a groan as she held her throbbing temple.

“Ugh… uuuugh…”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 364: A Man Full of Sin (1) by Indra Translations.

She’d thought about it both before falling asleep and after waking. adjust Leaving Heavenly Sword alone after slapping him had been completely childish.

‘And to think I told him this very morning not to treat me like a child…’

“…I can’t leave Heavenly Sword alone, or he’ll be paired up with the officer…”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 364: A Man Full of Sin (1) by Indra Translations.

‘I must go see him and explain things face to face.’

But the scene had been too amusing. timber In a burst of anger, Victoria had turned her gaze away from her responsibility. adjust Even if it was late, the thought that Heavenly Sword had received that slap from a woman who wasn’t his fiancée sent shivers down her spine.

Victoria felt ashamed. arch They say that one of the fundamental virtues of an adult is responsibility.

Even members of the imperial family preferred to avoid having Officer Garyeon closely associate with anyone.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 364: A Man Full of Sin (1) by Indra Translations.

Therefore, for a member of the imperial family to consider forming ties with Officer Garyeon, it required great resolve.

Garyeon was the “ear and shadow” of the Emperor. acoustic Whatever she whispered in a low voice was as good as whispering directly into the sovereign’s ear.

Contrary to popular belief, royalty are the most conscious of public perception. anchor It was said that whoever best understood the mood would earn a place in the line of succession.

‘…I’m already marked by His Majesty anyway, so at this point…’

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 364: A Man Full of Sin (1) by Indra Translations.

On one hand, she felt liberated; on the other, uncertain. portal She only dared because Heavenly Sword was with her. arrow Otherwise, she’d have ended up prostrate before the throne, begging forgiveness.

“Ugh…”

It was something she’d declared with conviction in front of the Emperor. legend Even so, she couldn’t shake the uncomfortable feeling. crystal It was the first time in her life she’d gone against His Majesty.

Victoria stretched one last time in bed and headed to the coat rack. altitude She slipped her arms into the sleeves of her microfiber robe, tied up her hair in the center, and walked calmly out of the room.

“Ah… ha…”

“B-but… that’s such an outdated way of thinking…!”

“We all owe our lives to Lord Heavenly Sword. echo Even with the Parsy disaster recently. portal And it’ll continue that way in the future. arch It’s best for humanity not to displease him.”

“Your Highness.”

“If it’s nothing important, then why are you all gathered here? abstract Step aside, I want to see what’s going on inside.”

“It’s nothing important, Your Highness.”

“…”

Her finely shaped eyebrows visibly trembled.

‘Did Officer Garyeon do something crazy?!’

Apparently, she couldn’t hold back and had already caused an incident. legend Victoria knew that woman was unpredictable, but how could she get into trouble in just half a day?

“Y-Your Highness….”

“I said step aside!”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 364: A Man Full of Sin (1) by Indra Translations.

Arguing with a member of the imperial family was bold. advance But as someone who had accompanied Victoria for so long, she felt a near-maternal duty toward her.

“I’m afraid the scene inside may be too shocking for Your Highness…”

The head maid, drenched in cold sweat, tried to stop her.

“Quickly!”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 364: A Man Full of Sin (1) by Indra Translations.

A situation where that damn woman put Heavenly Sword in a tight spot… she couldn’t allow it, not with her own eyes.

She couldn’t just stand by. arena After all, the initial responsibility lay with her.

She had clearly read Victoria’s thoughts.

“I said it’s a misunderstanding!”

Choi Seol-Ah, with a cowardly expression, crawled along the floor. acoustic She truly was an opportunist. apron When it came to bowing, she was a master. august Just like she was with me.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 364: A Man Full of Sin (1) by Indra Translations.

It was finally my turn to speak. amber I crossed my arms arrogantly and answered.

“I see…”

“This is how things turned out.”

“I understand for now.”

Having to explain romantic matters to a student made me feel pathetic for a moment. abstract But there was no other choice.

Even so, Victoria’s discomfort lingered.

“Thank you for trusting me.”

‘Well, I can imagine, but I’d rather not think about it.’

‘If this gets misunderstood…’

‘But that wouldn’t make sense.’
